Visiting there is on my "Bucket List". I have always been fascinated with Australia, as well as underground homes, so it is a natural fit for me.
Thanks for the reminder!

I'm not so sure I'd want to live in one of those places just yet...... Maybe some day in the future when I stop breathing.... At which point,,,, I'd be OK with living underground (smile)

I wouldn't live there either. I need trees, greenery and water and that landscape shows none of those. Underground living has advantages; the tempertaure remains constant so you don't need heating nor air conditioning but the downside is no natural light (I wonder if any of the inhabitants have considered installing light tubes?)

I see that electricity can be wind generated but where do they get their water from and where does waste water, sewage etc. go?
